Comment: That doesn't look like 4 reverts to me, they are different edits. Kashk is adding an authoritative source that was removed without any explanation on talk, in two of those edits. --ManiF05:27, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Reverts are reverts. I don't agree with his additions to the first line of the article. I asked him for an explanation in the talk, but instead he's been reverting repeatedly. The fact that he's even denying revert-warring doesn't make him look any better.AucamanTalk05:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Aucaman, I'd appricite it if you didn't label me a "revert-warrrrrrior" or any such names, please checkWP:CIVIL. My fourth edit is not a revert. Furthermore, if you look at myfourth edit, you'd see thatUser:Xebat was disrupting Wikipedia to make a point, by adding an absurd amount of tags to the article (borderline vandalism) contrary to the consensus on talk. --ManiF07:28, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I think the fourth was removing vandalism, in my opinion - wayyyy too many tags. They were completely unnecessary. --Khoikhoi07:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
It's part of the dispute. The page has been protected because people don't agree on the dispute tags.AucamanTalk07:46, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Adding four different tags (two of them unnecessary) to an article just for the sake of doing it is vandalism. --Khoikhoi07:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Not if the person was already participating in the talks. His name appears more than any other name. I'm told the word vandalism should only be used for clear cases of vandalism. The article is clearly disputed (in fact it's even protected now), but users such asUser:ManiF have been constantly taking off the disputed tags.AucamanTalk08:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok, perhaps his first three reverts wern't justified enough, but his fourth edit was removing vandalism, and in this case I see the adding of a ridiculous number of inappropriate tags to the article to be a pretty obvious violation ofWP:POINT, and was definately justified. --Khoikhoi08:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
That's not for you to decide. If it was vandalism it should have been reported. This was part of a larger revert war. The user was clearly frustrated because people have been taking off the dispute tag without any agreement. This is a clear case of revert-waring.User:Khoikhoi, you are also a big player in this dispute, so I'd appreciate if you stop leaving unnecessary comments here. Let the admins deal with this and stop (subjectively) calling people's edits vandalism.AucamanTalk08:26, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
The fact that "he was frustrated" is not an excuse for adding an excessive amount of tags to an article. The reason why I requested to protect the article is because of such disruptive behavior. I have a right to my opinion and I personally feel that his edits were vandalism. --Khoikhoi08:47, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, the fourth is removing vandalism, just as in ManiF's case. --Khoikhoi08:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Update

It's not vandalism if the person was already participating in the talks and finds the content of the article disputable. His name appears more than any other name in talks and he's obviously concerned about the accuracy of the article. The word vandalism should only be used for clear cases of vandalism. The article is clearly disputed (in fact it's even protected now), but users such asUser:SouthernComfort have been constantly taking off the disputed tags. I also didn't include some of the other reverts (this andthis). Are these vandalisms too? It would be unfair if he gets away with all this.AucamanTalk08:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:User:Pm shef has posted three 3RR warning templates onUser talk:Leotardo and in edit summaries, as Leotardo continued to repeatedly and tenditiously revert edits by Pm shef,User:Bearcat and myself. Leotardo's relevant interest here is substituting the real title of a newspaper article in external links,Kadis seeks re-election in largest Jewish riding, first for a problematically generic name of hir own, then for that article's photo caption, which sie claims is the title. Leotardo disputes violating 3RR, perhaps not having readWikipedia:Three-revert rule#Detail, wherein "Reverting, in this context, applies toundoing the actions of another editor in whole or part, not necessarily taking a previous version from history and editing that."Samaritan08:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Note that user also refuses to listen to consensus (s/he's also begun reverting two unelected city council candidates who were previously merged by AFD consensus into a single article on the election as a whole), and has repeatedly accused the three of us most involved in repairing this dispute of committing vandalism (as if reverting a bad edit were any such thing) or entirely non-existent POV violations despite the fact that no political opinions have been involved whatsoever. This editor seems to pay just enough attention to the rules to twist them in service of his own agenda, while entirely missing what they actuallymean.Bearcat08:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Reported by:Alienus09:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:They refused to go to Talk, initially. After multiple reversions from multiple editors, they went to Talk, then ignored a clear consensus. They were informed about the 3RR violation and chose to continue. I consider this very much an open-and-shut case.Alienus09:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Additional Comments byMusical Linguist: First three reverts seem to be clear reverts. The fourth may or may not be a revert. Certainly, it's not a revert to the previous Goodandevil version. I'm not saying that it isn't a revert, but without extensive examination, I can't see whether it's just an edit or an edit which incorporates a partial revert. The fifth is an edit which reinserts "common" and "descriptive term", which Alienus had removed in his own fifth revert, though Alienus spaced his reverts outside of 24 hours.(Hey, if I had done four reverts, I wouldn't be showing myself at this page to report another person's violations; I'd be keeping very quiet and hoping that no admin would examine the history of that article. Nobody would have seenyour violation if you hadn't made your report here, Alienus.) The "common" and "descriptive" can be seen by examining side by side Alienus's revert of Goodandevil[1] and Goodandevil's edit-incorporating-a-revert of Alienus's version.[2] Anyway, I'm not going to block, as I have experience with both editors,but I would point out that if one is blocked, the other must be also. I'll report Alienus in a new section.AnnH11:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

And just a quick comment on Alienus's comments. I don't know if Goodandevil refused to go to talk, or if he ignored a clear consensus. I do know, having looked, that "After multiple reversions from multiple editors" is false. He has recently been reverted five times by Alienus(to be reported below) and once by Severa.[3] His edit was edited, but not reverted by Lyrl.[4] One of Alienus's reverts was done with popups (although two administrators have asked Alienus not to use popup reverting for non vandalism edits) outside of that period.[5]AnnH11:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I have struck out some of my comments, with apologies. While looking for the diffs, I found that Alienus did indeed manage to space his edits outside of the twenty-four period. I was misled because I knew that Alienus was reporting Goodandevil for violating 3RR in a 24-hour period, and I knew that Alienus was the main person reverting him. I didn't look closely enough at the times. Sorry. Anyway, these are not 3RR violations, but are evidence that an edit war is going on:
Also, Goodandevil has posted fifteen times to the discussion page in the last twenty-four hours. I haven't looked at his posts, and since some come in close succession, some may be just correction of typos rather than engaging in dialogue. But he is certainly discussing. However, it does seem that the his final "revert"was a partial revert, whether or not the "fourth" one was.AnnH12:01, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I do not understand what it meant by "but include differences, not old versions". It either I misunderstand 3rr or I misunderstand how to present violation of 3rr.

James taging is essentially the same. Near identical text content. While people who revert his tag either simply delete his tag or replace it with NPOV dispute tag, he always revert it back to the same thing. Is it enough to evade 3rr simply by making slight alteration in revet? In such case, 3rr would be so easy to evade that it would be meaningless.FWBOarticle

As well, he continues to add content which violates the NPOV.

3RR quite explicitly doesnot apply to reverting vandalism, and the complainant is a sockpuppet of a user with a longstanding habit of twisting the rules to get around the fact that he actually doesn't have a leg to stand on regarding the merit of his edits.

I have to say that seeing a trusted editor being blocked on the accusations of an obvious sock (which has not even edited the talk page of the article in question!) is more than a bit disturbing to me. Simple checking shows thatUser:Ohnoitsjamie was reverting vandalism (pretty simple vandalism in my opinion) that was in opposition to consensus. The listing here was done in obvious bad faith by the suspected sock, and as such I think an apology from the blocking admin is in order. This may sound harsh, but we all make mistakes. It is unfair to brand a good editor with such an offence. Even if he is unblocked now, remember that for those of us not yet admins, such a stain is quite horrifying and requires explanation.pschemp |talk20:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:The arbcom has warned him previously for sterile revert warring.[23] Attempts of hide the reverts by some minor differences in words in some of them, but each time reverting the edits of three other editors. Shown differently:

[24]
[25]
[26]

Response: The underlying issue here is the inclusion of a map representing one reasonable, but disputable, set of opinions on "Which are the present liberal democracies?". SeeTalk:liberal democracy#Map and the section above it.

  • Three of these are different attempts to word a disclaimer on the caption, in the hope that some phrasing will reach consensus. The first one is the bolding of a preexisting disclaimer.
  • One of these, the one of 19:15, removes the map altogether.
  • One (at 23:07) adjusts the accompanying text, but not the caption, and does nothing to the map.

What 3RR violation?Septentrionalis00:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I see that Ultramarine has quoted an arbcom ruling that applies equally to both of us. Since Ultramarine has made three efforts at sterile defense of his preferred text, this would appear disingenuous.Septentrionalis00:16, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I have not broken the 3RR rule by continually reverting the edits of three different editors during a few hours.Ultramarine00:28, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The arbcom ruling prohibits sterile reversions. This is Ultramarine's record today:

  • Previous version reverted to:17:44, 27 March 2006
  • 1st revert:18;40
  • 2nd partial revert:18:45
  • 3rd revert, full revert to number 2:19:00

Again, this is not the place to discuss your attempts to hide the benefits of democracy and supporting studies and measurements. Regarding reverts, I reverted only once, 18:40. I and the other editors have not broken 3RR like you have.Ultramarine01:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Reported by:FWBOarticle23:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:My understanding is that 3rr favour status quo because 3rd revert suppose to end up in the original state. On this understanding, I did not count the initial revert to a month old version to be the first revert. However, I have stated both version of count as a part of good faith edit. And warned anyone who revert that they may violate 3rr. Sumple nor Caiqian do not seems to care. I have reported myself to be fair. Because the revert is wholesale, it is difficult to respond except by another wholesale revert. I'm not sure whether adding small modification every time one revert is enough to avoid 3rrv. If so, I would have done the same but essentially the whole sale revert could continue indefintely.FWBOarticle23:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Am I missing something or are you just being silly?

You were warned, and were supposed to be banned, and you still game the system on several articles and clearly make more than 4 edits in the same 24 h period on at least two articles, and makes even more edits and breaches in just a bit more than 24 h. You also seem to resort to personal attacks. I didn't check, but there are maybe more violations by the same user.Maayaa10:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I obviously misunderstood the rule thinking that it applies to a particular day as a 24 hour period as opposed to any 24 hour period. However, I received no warning.EurowikiJ10:22, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
You have been warned, you knew about the rule. And gaming the system is considered worse vandalism. If you are honest about not being informed, revert the articles back, and you might avoid the ban, as self reverts are not counted. But it is up to the administrators - you are reverting heavily and in fact people are complaining about you and some other editors.Maayaa10:27, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Also, dont you consider it a bit strange to brag that you have not been warned while you in fact reported people here several times, and were warned explicitly on this very page and still, you couldnt refrain for editing that same article one more time, even when admin told you he was going to ban you.Maayaa10:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough. If it is OK with the administrator I will self-revert and refrain from editing in 24 hours. After all, I play by the rules without resorting to creating sock-puppets. I am sure you know what I am talking about.EurowikiJ10:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
FYI Had I known about the rule applying to any 24 hour period, I would have made many more reports on this page. But this is a useful lesson too.EurowikiJ10:35, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted to previous versions on both articles.EurowikiJ10:40, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Good, glad you choose to be civil. In fact, you might consider discussing the issue with your opponents, as revert wars lead to nowhere. work with them towards some compromise, as is suggested by wikipedia policies - there are talk pages for resolving disputes.Maayaa10:49, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I also think you should use this opportunity to gloat because I assure you that this is the last time I made this mistake.EurowikiJ10:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Mistake is to engage in revert wars, but you seem not to understand it. Perhaps you can read a bit more about rules and advices carefully, because 3RR is just a guideline to limit edit wars, not an invitation to game the system.Maayaa11:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The three-revert rule is not an entitlement, but an "electric fence"; the 3RR is intended to stop edit wars. It does not grant users an inalienable right to three reverts every 24 hours or endorse reverts as an editing technique. Persistent reversion remains strongly discouraged and is unlikely to constitute working properly with others. The fact that users may be blocked for excessive reverting does not imply that they will be blocked. Equally, reverting fewer than four times may result in a block depending on contextMaayaa


I feel I should warn that an anonymous IP has reverted both articles back to my version. For all I know this may be foul play. In any case it has nothing to do with me.EurowikiJ12:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Reported by:Jhamez8413:15, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This user has been most stubborn and persistent in altering known facts. I as well as other members have been most displeased and incresingly frustrated in his behaviour. The problem stems from a location. It is not a disputed territory, but he wishes to remove the mention of theMetropolitan Borough of Oldham from theCrompton House page (which was his school) and also theShaw and Crompton page, most probably due to the so-called stigma attached to it's large south asian popultaion and past racial rioting. The user has been blocked before, (see {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RR#User:213.122.143.43_.26_related_IP.27s] ). He places an outdated/discontinued (legally and otherwise) version of geography on the article which directly contradicts the Wikipedia policy of the offical naming conventions (see[43] for the evidence that the member is indeed vandalising).

There are also further problems, I have asked for semi-protection for these pages but it wasn't granted and he refuses to accept consensus, constantly altering pages with no knownledge of how to properly format an article, and against the wishes of the members involved. To circumvent his previous blocking he is using non-static IP address (dynamic IP rolling) and admits as such here[44]. He has no static home page with which to formally warn him, his IP addresses are seemingly limitless and really need some support from and authoritative member to step in on the articles forsaid! His other known IP addresses are 213.122.74.210, 213.122.128.186, 81.131.22.118, 213.122.33.211, 213.122.72.151, 213.122.87.239, 81.131.68.146, 213.122.125.60, 81.131.64.166, 201.31.253.132 etc etc etc! I would appreciate a blanket block on him (if indeed possible) and be eternally grateful for some support on the articles. Thank youJhamez8413:15, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • He's been warned by you, and I'm inclined to leave it at that for now. In future when making 3RR reports please provide diffs and not old versions, as the latter are much harder to verify.Stifle13:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
With regard to that, having explained the wider problems I have been faced, and subsequent lack of support, I am most disapointed with that decision. The vandal is question has clearly broken wikpedia rules but is now not being challenged or disciplined in the slightest. I have warned him 'numerous times but he won't listen to me as I am involved and states that I am a known vandal (seehttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Crompton_House&oldid=45748636]. I think that to consider my own warning a deterant to him is a very weak decision. I urge you to reconsider.Jhamez8414:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm unsure that matters; and I am hardly "gaming" as I've listed the diffs for an admin to check for themselves.

Additional Comments fromMusical LinguistI agree that the second revert was probably not a revert, though it's sometimes hard to be sure with partial reverts. However, the "5th revert"is a revert, as it's yet another attempt to remove the word "death", which Pro-Lick has been doing ever since he arrived at that article. See[45],[46],[47],[48],[49],[50],[51],[52] (with abusive edit summary),[53],[54], and[55]. That's eleven removals of the word death in less than two days. And it went on and on after that, between 3RR blocks.

In addition to the removal of "death", the edit which RoyBoy calls the "5th revert" (above) is also a revert tothis edit, which Pro-Lick made three days ago. Please check it out.

He also tries to "game the system" by adding things which have the same purpose, but which are technically not reverts to a previous version. See[56],[57],[58]. The last of those grossly misrepresents something I said on the talk page, and is almost certainly trying tomake a point. It has the effect of a revert, and would have brought him over the 3RR on that day, if he hadn't changed "virus" to "bacteria".

He has been highly disruptive, regularly posting irrelevant and disrespectful links to the talk page[59], deleting other editors' comments from his own talk page[60], and either violating 3RR or simply reverting and reverting in violation of consensus, but placing reverts just outside of the 24-hour period.AnnH00:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Also you are mistaken-I was blocked on 3 times for 3RR, one of which was sadly for restoration of my comments on discussion page that were being deleted and which sadly is considered 3RR also.--Molobo13:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

You reverted content three times, then added a tag, and reverte the tag removal two times, hence 5 reverts. The number of reverts is per page, not per paragraph or disputed text. YOU of all people should know that, you do know that, and yet you try to get away with this excuse every time again. --Chris 73 |Talk13:45, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

This is the text that I believe states that removing tags is vandalism. In this case the tag was removed without any comment to my statement on proper discussion page where I explained why the tag was added:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VandalismImproper use of dispute tags. Dispute tags are important way for people to show that there are problems with the article. Do not remove them unless you are sure that the dispute is settled. --Molobo13:48, 29 March 2006 (UTC)The number of reverts is per page, not per paragraph or disputed text.See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3RRFor the purposes of counting reverts, these are excluded:

  • self-reverts
  • correction of simple vandalism

Removing a tag without any explanation and without adressing the issue on discussion page seemed to me like simple vandalism.--Molobo13:50, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear pan Molobo, the things you do may be classified as tag vandalism. I believe we need a separate policy on those who, without contributing anything helpful, add tons of tags on any article they cast their eyes on. Please stop vandalizing existing articles and write some new ones at last. --Ghirla-трёп-14:23, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: This user is incessantly adding in original research and claiming it as verfiable, and when new edits are added that don't fit with, or contradict his interpretation of claims, he makes a battery of wholesale reversions, modifications and deletions in a way that normally attempts to avoid 3RR. This time it is clear as day.

Three revert rule violation onAdolf Hitler (edit |talk |history |protect |delete |links |watch |logs |views) byUser:Musical_Linguist.

Normally I wouldn't bother, but breaking the rule just minutes after warning me on my talk page not to do it is just too cheeky. This user is edit warring big time while presenting a 'butter wouldn't melt' face, and could do with a cooling off period.Bengalski12:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Oui, c'est vrai. Mea culpa. I apologize. "Cheeky" is a rather unfair accusation, as it was obviously an accident. I'm not such an idiot as to deliberately hand over a weapon to an opponent who would be likely to use it against me. (Note that I said in my message that I just wanted him to be aware of the rule, so that he wouldn't unknowingly break it, and that I was unlikely to report him if he did, but that someone else might.) With regard to "edit warring big time" since Bengalski reverted three times in one hour and seventeen minutes, and I reverted four times in 23 hours and fifty minutes, I think he's hardly in a position to make that accusation, though he's certainly in a position to report me. I actually looked at the history and counted before I reverted, but there had been about seventy edits between my first revert and my last one, and I must have missed my name somewhere. It's a very frequently edited page.
No hard feelings if I'm blocked. I have other things to do anyway, and especially as an administrator, I should have been more careful. Perhaps I'll get some of those e-mails written that I owe my wiki-friends.AnnH12:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
As I say, butter wouldn't melt. The fact is there's an edit war going on here, as nicely as we want to put it. Of course, every time I've taken to task a friend of ML for breaches of wiquiquette it's obviously an accident. That admins could engage in edit warring ... tsk.Bengalski14:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Given her experience here, Ann should know better than this. On the other hand, given her experience here, I don't see any benefit to a block - the 3RR is preventative, not punitive. If Ann stays away from the article for 24 hours (other than to revert vandalism) I would see no reason for a block.Guettarda14:37, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Not only is a violating the 3RR but he keeps deleting the NPOV tag when a POV dispute is going on that he's involved in. Some of those reverts above show that. But also, he's done it a few times more outside of the 24 hour period. For example,[84] and[85] That in itself deserves some kind of block, in my opinion. It's really disruptive. I and others have been putting the tag in so the dispute can be resolved on the Talk page but he's trying to disrupt the whole process at arriving at a consensus.

And, if that's not enough, he deletes any mention on the Talk page that he's deleting the NPOV template --essentially vandalizing the talk page.[86][87]

He knows the rules, that is why new throwaway accounts keep popping up all the time. He has been referred to the Sockpuppet CheckUser page before but I was told to list it here first. The thing is that unless some admin make the effort of looking into this, the problem will go on and on. His behaviour is very disruptive and seems to believe he owns the article "because [he]'s from Kosova" (sic).Asterion09:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, this sucks, he always waits for a while, and then revertsall of the changes back to his original ones. Then how do you propose we stop him? He never negotiates, replies every argument with "dream on", "you nationalist" and "no comment", reverts the article, and waits for a while, and reverts the whole thing again. Should we just let him keep doing that? --Boris Malagurski08:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

the accusations mentioned above are not based on facts. I don't agree with any of them. The people who keep reverting it in an organized manner such as Boris and Asterion, they think they own the article. Both abovementioned users keep reverting the article exactly the way they describe mine. I don't own the article, never claimed that. Instead I think I have the right to revert all that are not supported by credible and neutral sources. And I will keep doing so, as I said, because it is of vital importance to me that international visitors of the page get a clearer picture of the situation. I haven't so far added anything which was written by Albanian sources, instead I always aim for neutral ones. Thank you,Ilir pz10:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me, how long do I have to wait untill someone blocks this guy? Do I have to repeat what he said when he was told to stop reverting - "I told you I am determined about the cause I am fighting for. It is my country in question." and "As long as it takes, ready for anything for my loving country - Kosova (reverting is 0.0000000000000001% of what I am ready to do)... To hell together with Milloshevic". What are you guys waiting for? --Boris Malagurski23:42, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:The reverts mentioned above are just 4 recent ones, as the user has been reverting many more times in the near past. The abovementioned user accuses others who do not agree with him/her, and instead justifies his reverts using a language which seems as if he/she is doing a just revert like "Someone messed up the infobox formatting", or "RV bad faith edit" or "RV bad faith edit with misleading description". What he/she in fact is doing is rise the tensions in the page. The user is clearly not from the region and instead supports extreme nationalist forces that caused theKosovo_war. Additionally the user reverts any content that has to do with the majority populations (Albanians) aspirations in Kosovo. The topic is very sensitive, and it is important to stop such attempts by irresponsible users. If you note from the user's contributions, you can see that he/she keeps reverting elsewhere, constantly as well. If you look atUser:HolyRomanEmperor,User:Bormalagurski andUser:Gianni_ita's additions and reverts one gets suspicious the the abovementioned might be sockpuppets of one of the users mentioned above. They revert exactly the same content from the very important article. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Ilir pz08:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but it's pretty obvious that Ilir is only reporting the alleged breaking of the "3rd revert rule" because he was reported himself. Asterion has reverted his nationalist edits, because Ilir seems to think Kosovo is an independent country, even though the UN still consider it a province of Serbia, and there are talks about Kosovo's status in Vienna. Asterion has rightfully reverted Ilir's edits, and he shouldn't be blocked for stoping vandalism. Also, calling me a sockpuppet is a cheap shot. --Boris Malagurski08:44, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter anyways - Asterion's 1st revert is on the 31st of March while his last is on the 2nd of April. Thethree-revert rule clearly states that "an editor must not perform more than three reversions, in whole or in part, on a single Wikipedia articlewithin a 24 hour period". --Khoikhoi08:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

It's true, I have nothing to do with that article. However, I have experienced Miskin's unproductive edit warring on other pages and thought that administrators should be aware of this latest effort.

Reported by:DutchSeduction17:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

User WoodenBuddha is attempting to censor out criticism from the article, the neutrality of which is heavily in dispute. Each one of his reverts is a different attack on the reference, which is a nonprofit one, the only such noncommercial site that could be found on the subject.

SeeTalk:David DeAngelo and comments by user RobChurch for more details.DutchSeduction17:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Please see my comments on all related pages. DutchSeduction is tirelessly promoting his members-only site, which appears to contain, on the surface, none of the promised criticism. Apparently this is only available to registered members. He repeatedly refers to his site (which has AdWords on) as non-profit. He keeps referring to a term he claims is commonly used in the community "Cocky and Playful", although the exact phrase changes from edit-to-edit. As you can see from my edits a while back on the David DeAngelo page, I've been quick to remove any non-qualified promotion of his material - you can see where I remove comments about him being a 'great pickup artist'.

The site that DutchSeduction continually spams is one of many many community lairs. It just happens that he runs this one. As I've said in comments, if he wants to link to anything that appears relevant, great, otherwise, he's just blindly reverting back to keep the link to his site in, despite warnings from administrators.

WoodenBuddha17:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to further point out I was not aware of the 3RR rule prior to this, and shall endeavour, as I already have, to involve the administrators concerning DutchSeduction, in the future. Apologies for all the hassle being caused here.

WoodenBuddha17:54, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

To address this WoodenBuddha's comments in order:1. Free registration sites are permissable. See user RobChurch's comments onTalk:David Deangelo for details. The site has registration to prevent commercial spamming and meatpuppets.2. There is extensive criticism of DeAngelo's techniques, about 2 year's worth in the site's archives.3. The adwords are only there because it is a term of service onInvisionfree.com, the free site on which the archives are hosted. Ad removal costs money.4. The term has always been P&C, "playful and confident." WoodenBuddha is trying to attack it because he doesn't agree with the criticism.5. I don't run the site. Like I've said repeatedly, it's run by a nonprofit foundation, one of very few non-commercial foundations in the community.

As RobChurch points out, the criticism of Deangelo is valid, so the reference should stand.DutchSeduction18:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

OK. Sorry. You are founding member and technical administrator of both sites. I guess you could claim not to 'control' on a technicality. Please additionally note there are three reverts of the same page by you that I could link to here - you have also broken the 3RR rule. I note that you've removed an administrator's warning that you stop linking to your site from your talk page.

Well provide the diffs for that violation. Get both of you blocked for 24 hours and then come back and see what the other editors came up with in the meantime. Alternativly just have a cup of a beverage of your choice and relax.Agathoclea19:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

WoodenBuddha is saying things that are patently false. The sites he is referring to are both objective non-commercial sources managed by nonprofit organizations. The "administrator's warning" was incorrect. Admin RobChurch verified the information onDavid Deangelo and ruled WoodenBuddha out.

WoodenBuddha's remarks are only counter-attack. Other editors have decided to keep all of the links in as it was POV to censor them out in the first place. Like Agathoclea has said, chill out, and stop attacking the page.DutchSeduction09:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

DutchSeduction - please stop the slander. Please look at the revision history for Seduction Community, and see the huge amount of work I've put in to it, as opposed to your readding your links. It makes it much harder for genuine contributors when you do this. I note additionally you've started to accuse the other editor who spends time working on this as a 'sock puppet' because he didn't agree with you. Will you start attacking him now too? I was content to let the issue rest, much as I think it shouldn't - so smear campagins where you refer to me 'attacking the page' or 'commercial revert spam' are really unhelpful. I note that you've not rebutted the fact that you are the founder of both sites that are 'run by nonprofit organizations', or provided any proof that this is the case. I've given up trying to remove your adcruft from the pages - it's not worth the effort. So please stop your smear campaign and bullying tactics, or go find someone else to attack, and let the people who contribute content do their job.

Let's see if this causes another edit war or whether your warning carries any weight witht his person.

I find it pretty troublesome for NSLE, who is an admin, to have revert war with another user. As I saw in the edit history, that unregistered user was only trying to make the format of the Chinese name and the Tamil name consistent. But NSLE treated it as vandalism - just because he didn't like the format that another user proposed, and reverted the article for more than three times. Every time he reverted the article, he restored an error in the "pinyin" romanization of the Chinese name. While " Xīnjiāpō Gònghéguó " should be two "words", he kept grouping them back into one "word", until I fixed that error for them. He stopped the edit that he didn't like by blocking the article. This is obviously an abuse of his admin power.

Comments: This user continues to revert the article in question following the removal of his name (added by himself) from the list of notable alumni of the school. He clearly is not notable by virtually anyone's standards, let alone those ofWP:BIO. His reversions have lost numerous copyedits to the article in addition to the removal of his name from the list. He's dangerously close onAutism rights movement as well. He has brought his attacks to my own Talk page as well as the Talk page of the latter article.

Comments:

RJII and pal Rhobite teemed up this evening to vandalize thelibertarian page with a CIRCULAR definition of libertarianism. Rhobite has been reverting to the circular definition of RJII on grounds he does not like use of quote marks, or of dual accurate defintions. Rather than removing the quotes or removing one of the two dual accurate definitions, Rhobite and RJII have been maliciously and repeatedly reverting to RJII's CIRCULAR definition. Rhobite had/has a means to modify the use of quotes or to remove either of the accurate definitions if he chooses, by simply editing them out, instead he is reverting to the CIRCULAR defintion of RJII. I propose Rhobite be BANNED for vandalism.pat872204:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Rhobite and RJII is an odd partnership :-). Anyway, you've broken 3RR, have an 8h breakWilliam M. Connolley08:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I just wish to add thatpat8722 is the only one who appears to be of theopinion that the definition in question is circular. Several of us have tried to explain to him on the Talk page that in order for a definition to be circular, it needs to use the term it is defining within the definition itself, but Pat does not seem to understand this. At any rate, to describe the content changes RJII and Rhobite have made on that page asvandalism is disingenuous at best. --Serge20:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

As I stated above, what I revoked was simple vandalism, therefore your revocation of my edit privledges violates the admin policy regarding 3rr revocations. As I am relatively new to wiki, please advice me on the procedure for requesting that your admin powers be revoked for very obvious abuse thereof (i.e. you were required to ascertain whether I had revoked simple vandalism as I had stated, before revoking my edit privileges.)pat872218:27, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I would recommend to contact an admin of your choice that you feel you can trust, who would talk you through the process and point you to the right pages. Most likely s/he would would tell you, that your edits were not reverts of simple vandalizm, but were "content dispute" - then s/he could point you to how such disputes can be resolved.Agathoclea18:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Me andUser:Hogtied

OnCrystal Palace (chat site), an article that had unanimous consensus to merge in December 2005, but was recreated by a vandal and the vandalism went undetected for 5 months. I got rid of the vandalism, and Hogtied got rid of my reversions, saying I was a vandal. Of course we both think we were getting rid of vandalism, but we certainly breached 3RR. There's what 10 reverts each in an hour or so. Unfortunately, the excuse of ignorance doesn't cut it, as I gave him links that proved things, he just refused to look at them. I am happy to take my 24 hour block for it. We both should get one I think.59.167.131.817:56, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment I was the one who warned him yesterday, and I've been trying to keep tabs on several related disputes, this one included. While the evidence is clear that this user broke 3RR, it's not entirely clear that what he was reverting wasn't vandalism. He was reverting a page move after one user had put up a straw poll (concerning just such a move) and, just 18 hours later (after 4 pro's and no con's), he claimed 'consensus' was reached, and went ahead and moved the page, all the while accusing this user of being a 'vandal' for moving it back even the first time. It's definatly a sticky situation, so, to any admin reading this, I must suggest a further 3RR warning rather than a block outright. --InShaneee01:13, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Reported by: --Northmeister18:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments: Will Beback has violated 3RR after following me to this article as he has done in the past with myself and others. He had no prior interest here and is attempting to disrupt the work of several editors with his agenda which amounts to harassment. He has violated 3RR today and does not engage in adding material but simple deletion. Instead of going to talk and discussing first, he simply deletes and calls one of my edits a 'cruft'. This is not assuming good faith on his part. Had he discussed in Talk matters would be worked out, as I prefer collaboration with other editors. I ask a block because of his behavior here and that he work with us in the future to improve the article if he has questions on my or anyone elses edits. I do not like revert wars which are started by simple deletes of other editors work without discussion first; though I can see deleting in this manner for anonymous edits or obvious vandals or sock-puppets of others. This is not the case though. Please enforce the 3RR here and admonish Will Beback on good faith with others. --Northmeister18:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Will has reverted you twice, not four times. Anedit is not arevert. Also, you should know that other Wikipedia articles cannot be considered sources/citations for information you're seeking to insert into another article. And describing de Gaulle as a "courageous war hero" is inappropriate and violatesneutral point of view policies. Some people might think de Gaulle was a terrible coward; a neutral encyclopedia can't make a definitive statement like that. ·Katefan0(scribble)/poll18:36, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. But, that is not the source of the problem. He reverted twice, plus three other times my material only. That is fact, and it is shown above. He did this without discussion, and since he knows I am more than willing to discuss and provide sources; he did this in-spite. Is that right? The obvious violation of 3RR"Reverting, in this context, applies to undoing the actions of another editor in whole or part..." is the case here. Had he simply changed the De Gaulle statement (which is POV, and needed revising) then that would be okay. But that is not in any way the case above and is a moot point for the record. --Northmeister18:42, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

To be fair (and I don't think the reverts were a smart move on the part of Gerardm), the Strawpoll on the talk page was a 2-2 tie, up until I just added by support for inclusion, with reasoning. Whoever (MattN and yourself) was reverting Gerardm was pretty much doing the same thing GerardM was. --Kickstart70·Talk21:14, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment in the straw poll. I think the whole issue got way out of hand. To clarify though, I commented out Gerardm's addition of the link once and pointed him to talk, where I was trying to get some civil discussion going toward some sort of neutral-ish consensus.[150] --Christopherlin21:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
If they stop when they get the warning, that's fine - the 3rr is meant to be preventative, not punitive. If the keep going, they earn a block. Some people will block even if the person hasn't been warned - if they have been around long enough to know better, for example. Other people will block for an hour or two to enforce a cool-off. It depends on the admin. But bear in mind, the aim isn't to punish misbehaviour, the rule exists to stop control edit warring.Guettarda21:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Hm... Okay. Thanks for the clarification. I've left a note on both users' talk pages, though Gerardm just readded the content that was removed from extlinks as a criticism section. Not sure what that means, though. --Christopherlin21:32, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't want to make too much of this but:
  1. The first I knew of this was when I found that I'd been blocked — ManiF didn't have the courtesy to inform me (though he/she left an unrelated comment at my Talk page later), much less warn me of my oversight.
  2. InShanee ignored an e-mail I sent him once I'd discovered the block.
I'm not saying that I should be treated differently because I'm an admin, but I'd have hoped thatall editors would be told of 3RR reports, and would have their e-mails answered by the blocking admin.
(Incidentally, the NPOV tag was being replaced for no good reason, even after extra citations had been given and the two (not three) editors involved has ceased to engage in discussion at the Talk page. I regarded this as disruption at best, hence my removal of the tag.) --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης)09:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I knew Molobo only provoked the revert war to drag me into a violation. The changes were reasonable and unchallenged by Molobo. Should I tell him on talk that, for example, his link to Fifth column goes to a teenie band? Molobo reverted all changes indiscriminately without an explanation. When someone reverts his changes indiscriminately, and happens to remove a war crimes, Molobo would from then on keep defaming him as Nazi atrocities denier. His latest vctim isUser:Dr. Dan. He's completely indifferent whether someone agrees with him or not. See for example at 17th infantry division, where he keeps reverting despite having met with diagreement on the talk page. How did he finish the disagreement over the last block atGerman Empire? He made two comments on talk, which no one agreed with (they were ignored).

Just like me Space Cadet has been warned for a stream of unnecessary revert warring. Space Cadet reverts to Molobo's version on principle, no matter what. The rareness of his inclination made him the only person to endorse Molobo's version in Molobo's RfC. One could say that Space Cadet and I could have known better after Molobo was blocked for one month yesterday for needless revert warring but Space Cadet, of course, continued today. His insulting revert summaries are not uncommon, and even on talk pages you could tell that he doesn't mind offensive swearwords[164]. He realised that he's violated the 3RR and then reverted back, but it is not manisfested in the rules that a self-revert absolves the offender after a 3RR violation, and it shouldn't be because it is not the "right version" that counts in the end but the act of disruption. Space Cadet has tried the same self-absolution last time, too. It wouldn't be reasonable to allow every offender to revert their versions back. So some consistency in that respect would be sensible. In the light of other blocks for edit warring that he received not too long ago, I suggest that a block for him of one day or more should urgently be reconsidered.Sciurinæ02:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
3RR isn't for punishment, it is for cooling down edit wars. It is rather troubling that almostall of his edits are reverts, but it seems to me that he made a good faith effort not to break the letter of 3RR, (but the spirit is another matter . . . ) As the edit war has stopped, there is no reason to block. I'd be more than okay with another admin reconsidering and blocking, but i'm not going to do it right now. --He:ah?02:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Heah, if this was theonly article and one would follow your way of thinking, there's no need for the 3RR because you might just as well protect the article and the edit war onthat artcile is over. I fully agree that, eg, if an anon is responsible for a single act of vandalism but reverts it, he can go without a warning. But regarding the three revert rule the act of disruption, not the correct version, is decisive. I've seen admins breaking the 3RR unconsciously and getting blocked for that although they surely wouldn't have continued the war. According to your proposed logic, there wouldn't really be a need for blocking a three revert rule.
Let's look at who is responsible for the revert war. Without Molobo, Space Cadet was all alone there. Molobo didn't achieve consensus and everyone reverting to his version was put at a disadvantage because not only would four Russian editors have reverted it, but the other side also had an advantage in respect of the time. The only way Space Cadet could have achieved something would be the way of discussion. Henever chose that way. When he reverted, he was reverted immediately. It was predictable. Still he continued without a reasonable end in view. At the end, logically he had one revert less than the other editor. He was fully responsible for a revert war that he could on no account win this way. He violated the three-revert-rule and therefore cannot only be blocked but according to generally accepted procedure should need to get blocked for consistency, no matter if he "self-revert"ed to another version as fifth revert or not.
Wouldn't it be preemptive? Well, look at what Space Cadet has now continued because he wasn't blocked: the revert war overSelbstschutz, again without discussing why he reverts my version, again with insulting edit summaries. Blocking him for the 3RR violation is therefore as preemptive as it can get. I fully agree that a second admin should reconsider the case.Sciurinæ14:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

SC has self-reverted anyway, so shouldn't be blocked. OTOH both SC and Molobo have been gratuitiously impolite in the edit comments so can have 12h apiece for thatWilliam M. Connolley14:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

This article is increasingly undergoing an edit war. I have tried in last few days to engage both parties on the talk page and suggested a bilateral ceasation of editing to theBreast implant#Rheumatology section's table for a couple of days whilst some consensus-building might be attempted in the talk page. I suspectUser:65.89.98.20 isUser:Droliver (the re-insertion edits are of this registered user and Jgwlaw's accusation in edit comments of being this editor are not being denied) who has engaged poorly in dialogue, has previously added mutliple study links (often without any citation detail markup). MeanwhileUser:Jgwlaw is tending to over delete cited studies as feels POV to include without providing detailled study-by-study critisms (e.g. of study funding causing possible conflict of interests).

I suspect the general current medical consensus is that problems from implants has not been convincingly confirmed, yet the FDA's critisms of "pro-implant" studies over methodology problems remains and (to date) the FDA continues to ban silicone implants. Both editors, in my view, are trying to add useful info, but are being overprotective of their position, failling to discuss for consensus, verging on not assuming good faith and are rapidly notching up large number of edits/reverts - some cooling down needs to be forced on the situation (informal dialogue seems to be failing and RfC seems required - but that is a separate issue from these 3RR violations).David RubenTalk01:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

My initial impressions are in accord withUser:Davidruben's view. The edit warring over this article has lasted for quite some time, and appears to be escalating. I am placing a short block on the parties concerned, including the IP. This is intended to prevent further revert wars, as well as provide an opportunity to the editors concerned to think about their actions and how they might best engage in thoughtful discussion on the article talk page to arrive at a mutually acceptable version.

The user has not been very open to discussing the claimed POV issues and trying to reach consensus. Reverts also remove material seemingly unrelated to the dispute. Since the user uses a rotating IP and is relatively new, a block might be difficult. I have given him a 3RR warning, but I'm involved in the dispute so one from an admin might help the problem and stop edit warring.

I don't currently have time to sort through this, but i have semi-protectedBernie Sanders. If another admin wants to figure who to block, that would be great . . . But given the IP hopping and my current lack of time that admin isn't me. (sorry). --He:ah?02:53, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Very well, Bkwilliam, it seems that you have contacted an administrator in recruiting your friend Heah to protect the article so you may edit it and I cannot. Therefore, I have requested comments from Wiki peers, and would request you restore the deleted information until concensus can be reached. Also, I request that we call a truce, and refrain from further edits here until that time. Agreed? Straightinfo 08:10, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
There was no violation of the three revert rule, asBkwillwm well knows, reversion of vandalism does not count toward 3RR, explicitly. I have addressed his complaint, several times. I found his complaint to be without merit, as he seems to feel that POV rule says that no comment which contains both sides of a dispute, when it relates to George Bush, is acceptible. This is not a violation of the POV rule, it is POV. Since ,User:Heah, you admit that you have not looked into this, a semi-protect that blocks me, but not Bkwillwm, is an abuse of admin power, and will be reported unless immediately removed.Straightinfo15:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Please read our policy onvandalism. Neither "side" in this edit war is vandalizing anything, and thus the three-revert rule does indeed apply. I find Heah's action entirely appropriate given the dynamic IP which makes it impossible to block the problematic user. (ESkog)(Talk)17:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Reply. SlimVirgin has been engaged in the same "complex" reverts, as we are in the middle of a content dispute regarding this article. Nevertheless, I was under the strong impression that the 3RR dealt with a 3 revert limit for thesame edit, not unrelated threads. I'm assuming I was quite wrong. If this is the case, I apologize, and do not contest the block. As for being offered the chance to reverse myself, as mycontributions will show, I was not editing on WP at the time SlimVirgin was so good as to have made the offer, nor at the time she proceeded with her effort to have me blocked. I have been here a while, and I care about my reputation. Obviously I would not knowingly expose myself to blockage, or the malice of editors who do not like me, out of sheer recklessness and disregard for the rules. I will only add, that I will make a suggestion at the 3RR Talk page that the 3RR rule should make more clear that it does not distinguish between unrelated edit reverting. Oh, one more thing. When Idid see the block and SlimVirgin's warning, WP's database was locked for maintenance. I was only able to eMail FeloniousMonk that I had seen the comments and would reply later when WP was unlocked. I have just now found time to return.--AladdinSE04:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

There are three separate discussions on your talk page about 3RR, two of them long ones, with a number of admins explaining the policy to you, and asking you to stop wikilawyering.

You'll notice that all of those 3RR issues you quoted all dealt with the sameYazid I article, and the samesingle disputed edit, not unrelated edits. I hope you'll agree I'm not an unintelligent person, and I still fell through the cracks here. It is obvious that the policy can use some polishing up to prevent my kind of mistake. In any case, if you wish to oppose me when I make this suggestion, you can do it at the policy Talk page. We need not clutter this noticeboard.--AladdinSE04:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

This is a way for this user,User:Ilir_pz to unfairly put the blame on someone else for its own behaviour, which got him blocked before. He has also shown no respect for the 3RR: Instead reflecting on the reasons why he got blocked, he left anunpleasant comment on his talk page, belittling the 3RR. Basically, there was no 3RR on NikX's edits as 4 and 5 were not reverts and 1, 2 and 3 are simply edits. Someone should take action againstUser:Ilir_pz for this, together with many otherinsults he has written.Asterion14:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:Rcox user undid a week's worth of edits without explanation and then demanded to know why other people reverted it. He keeps deleting five or six paragraphs with his version of the page by accusing POV issues without listing them.
The user also changed theCountdown with Keith Olbermann page to his version of the KO page.[182] He is also doing similar things to the Countdown page over the past week.[183] --sigmafactor22:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

It is quite amusing to read the comments ofsigmafactor,Day, andwaffle iron. The complaint is that I "undid" edits "without explanation" and then "demanded" to know why other people "reverted" it. I did not "undo" edits I "made" edits to the page as I have every right to do. I don't object to explaining the reason for making those changes and have done so - at length - on the Keith Olbermann discussion page but none of these three "concerned" editors has bothered to even acknowledge them. I find especially interesting the observation that I complained when people "reverted" my edits. As I toldHe on my talk page, I did not "revert" anything but rather made edits and then these three people (and maybe others, I'm not going to go check now) reverted my changes.

I would note thatsigmafactor is the pot calling the kettle black here. I did not see any discussions of any of the "weeks worth of edits" you made; why is it a "crime" on Wikipedia for me to make edits withour explanation but OK for you to do the same?

Regardless, as you have now brought this up to an administrator who has taken action against me, perhaps that same person can show some balance and take these three to task for making edits to the page without discussion and for their hypocrisy in making this complaint about me when they were doing the same thing. Since attempting to comply with the various requests/complaints, I have made individual edits to the page after posting my recommendation on the discussion page and receiving no reply from any editors. These edits were then reverted without discussion.

I would also point out that I have made a good-faith effort to respond to their "complaint" about discussing changes and posted a detailed exposition on the many ways in which the Keith Olbermann page is non-NPOV. I would be happy to discuss any aspect of my concerns about the page but have been completely ignored since last week when I posted them.

That seems like a neat trick to me. Demand that I propose changes on the discussion page, ignore me, then revert my edits when I make the changes, all the while complaining to an admin that I should be banned from editing because I won't "discuss" changes.

Comments: Not all of these are within 24 hours. However, it is clear that despite 5 other users attempting to edit this article, and despite his reversions having been discussed ad nauseum in the talk archives, Baba Louis obstinately keeps reverting. He's also a confirmed sockpuppet of two other editors, and previously used this for vote/consensus stacking on this and other articles,[184].

Comments: This user has actually made 8 reverts to the same page, same end result, since April 4 2006, with six of these coming in the last 2 days. The ones shown above are the most recent and are the first time that he has technically violatedWP:3RR by doing four within a 24-hour period. His reverts come with next to no participation on his part in the copious discussion on the article's talk page atTalk:Danielle Rousseau. He has used profanity and personal attacks in edit comments and on this article's talk page, has erased civil and constructive comments (including 3RR warnings and block messages from this AND previous/unrelated altercations) left on his own talk page, etc., and has generally not responded to repeated requests (most of which he has now erased, but which are available through his talk page history) to enter into collaborative discussion on the issues.
